GitHub - StevenRasmussen/XrmTSToolkit: TypeScript library for Dynamics CRM JavaScript webservice methods

Welcome to XrmTSToolkit GitHub page

XrmTSToolkit is a TypeScript library that you can use to perform all the basic Dynamics CRM webservice methods. This library was designed to be similar in nature to the CRM SDK such that anyone familiar with the .Net SDK should be able to use the library without much help. Where possible, all the same methods and overloads have been reproduced.

XrmTSToolkit also uses jQuery Promises so that every method is run Asynchronously and will be familiar to anyone who has already worked with jQuery promises before.

The following methods are supported:

Soap Methods

Create
Update
Delete
Retrieve
RetrieveMultiple
RetrieveRelatedManyToMany
Associate
Disassociate
Fetch
SetState
Execute

Soap Requests - Used with 'Execute' or 'ExecuteMultiple'

ExecuteMultipleRequest
CreateRequest
UpdateRequest
DeleteRequest
AssociateRequest
DisassociateRequest
SetStateRequest
WhoAmIRequest
AssignRequest
GrantAccessRequest
ModifyAccessRequest
RevokeAccessRequest
RetrievePrincipleAccessRequest

Other Organization Requests

Any organization request not listed above can easily be implemented by inheriting from the 'ExecuteRequest' class. An example is shown below illustrating how the 'CreateRequest' is implemented. Additional requests may be added to the XrmTSToolkit as deemed necessary or perhaps a separate TypeScript file will be created that will contain additional organization requests. Please submit an issue on GitHub for consideration of another request to be added to the main library.

Custom Actions

You can execute your own custom actions very easily by following the example given below.

Retrieve Metadata

XrmTSToolkit allows you To retrieve entity metadata from CRM.

REST methods

XrmTSToolkit does not support the REST endpoint. This may be added in a future release.

Sample Code:

Create

var entity = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Entity("account");
entity.Attributes["creditonhold"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.BooleanValue(true);
entity.Attributes["donotemail"] = true; //You can also just pass a bool instead of a 'BooleanValue'
entity.Attributes["creditlimit"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.MoneyValue(1000);
entity.Attributes["lastusedincampaign"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.DateValue(new Date());
entity.Attributes["exchangerate"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.DecimalValue(2000);
entity.Attributes["address1_latitude"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.FloatValue(90);
entity.Attributes["numberofemployees"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.IntegerValue(4000);
entity.Attributes["ownerid"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityReference(Xrm.Page.context.getUserId(), "systemuser");
entity.Attributes["description"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.StringValue("This is a long string value");
entity.Attributes["telephone1"] = "(999) 123-4567"; //You can also just pass a string instead of a 'StringValue'
entity.Attributes["accountcategorycode"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.OptionSetValue(1);
entity.Attributes["name"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.StringValue("Test Account");

var promise = XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Create(entity);
promise.done(function (data: XrmTSToolkit.Soap.CreateSoapResponse, result, xhr) {
    var newAccountId = data.CreateResult;
});
promise.fail(function (result: XrmTSToolkit.Soap.FaultResponse) {
    //Error occured
});

Create Email

var email = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Entity("email");
email.Attributes["subject"] = "email subject";

var fromActivityParties = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityCollection();
var fromActivityParty = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Entity("activityparty");
fromActivityParty.Attributes["partyid"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityReference(Xrm.Page.context.getUserId(), "systemuser");
fromActivityParties.Items.push(fromActivityParty);
email.Attributes["from"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityCollectionAttribute(fromActivityParties);

var toActivityParties = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityCollection();
var toActivityParty = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Entity("activityparty");
toActivityParty.Attributes["partyid"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityReference("9C8AF527-2D96-4ADB-9C0B-A21BF460CDDA", "contact");
toActivityParties.Items.push(toActivityParty);
email.Attributes["to"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityCollectionAttribute(toActivityParties);

XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Create(email).done(function (emailResponse: XrmTSToolkit.Soap.CreateSoapResponse) {
	var emailId = emailResponse.CreateResult;
	dfd.resolve(new TestResult(true, "CreateEmail test succeeded: " + emailId, PriorTestResult.ResultValue));
}).fail(function (result) {
	dfd.reject(new TestResult(false, "CreateEmail test failed: " + result.faultstring, result));
});

Update

var entity = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Entity("account", "9C8AF527-2D96-4ADB-9C0B-A21BF460CDDA");
entity.Attributes["creditonhold"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.BooleanValue(true);
entity.Attributes["creditlimit"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.MoneyValue(10000);
entity.Attributes["lastusedincampaign"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.DateValue(new Date());
entity.Attributes["exchangerate"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.DecimalValue(20000);
entity.Attributes["address1_latitude"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.FloatValue(-90);
entity.Attributes["numberofemployees"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.IntegerValue(40000);
entity.Attributes["ownerid"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityReference(Xrm.Page.context.getUserId(), "systemuser");
entity.Attributes["description"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.StringValue("This is a long string value - updated");
entity.Attributes["accountcategorycode"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.OptionSetValue(2);
entity.Attributes["name"] = new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.StringValue("Test Account - updated");

var promise = XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Update(entity);

	booleanValue = entity.getAttribute<XrmTSToolkit.Soap.BooleanValue>("creditonhold");
	dateValue = entity.getAttribute<XrmTSToolkit.Soap.DateValue>("creditonhold");
	integerValue = entity.getAttribute<XrmTSToolkit.Soap.IntegerValue>("creditonhold");

	// Alternatively you can get the raw value using the corresponding method:
	var stringRaw = entity.getString("name");
	var boolRaw = entity.getBool("creditonhold");
	var dateRaw = entity.getDate("createdon");
	var numberRaw = entity.getNumber("numberofemployees");

    new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityReference(Xrm.Page.context.getUserId(), "systemuser"));

var promise = XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Execute(revokeAccessRequest);
promise.done(function (data: XrmTSToolkit.Soap.RevokeAccessResponse, result, xhr) {

    new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityReference(Xrm.Page.context.getUserId(), "systemuser"));

var promise = XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Execute(retrieveAccessRequest);
promise.done(function (data: XrmTSToolkit.Soap.RetrievePrincipleAccessResponse, result, xhr) {
    //Retrieve principal access succeeded.  Iterate through all the access rights and get their text
    var rightsStrings = [];
    $.each(data.AccessRights, function (i, right) {
        rightsStrings.push(XrmTSToolkit.Soap.AccessRights[right].toString());
    });
});
promise.fail(function (result: XrmTSToolkit.Soap.FaultResponse) {
    //Retrieve principal access failed
});

Custom Actions

To use custom actions it is required that you create a new TypeScript class that extends the 'ExecuteRequest' class. The following is an example of how to accomplish it:

export class CustomActionRequest extends XrmTSToolkit.Soap.CustomActionRequest {
	constructor(account: XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityReference, stringValue: string) {
		super("new_CustomActionName"); //This is the name of the custom action defined in CRM
        this.Parameters["Target"] = account;
        this.Parameters["StringValue"] = stringValue; // Pass in any values needed for the custom action as 'Parameters'
	}

	// Optionally override the following method if you have created a specific response type class as shown below
	CreateResponse(responseXml: string): CustomActionResponse {
        return new CustomActionResponse(responseXml);
    }
}

You can also choose To create an appropriate response to make it easier to read any results:

export class CustomActionResponse extends XrmTSToolkit.Soap.ExecuteResponse {
	constructor(responseXml: string) {
        super(responseXml);
		// In order for XrmTSToolkit to know how to deserialize the 
        this.PropertyTypes["ReturnValueString"] = "s"; // s == string
        this.PropertyTypes["ReturnValueBool"] = "b"; // b == bool
        this.PropertyTypes["ReturnValueInt"] = "n"; // n == number
        this.PropertyTypes["ReturnValueMoney"] = "n";
    }
    ReturnValueString: string;
    ReturnValueBool: boolean;
    ReturnValueInt: number;
    ReturnValueMoney: number;
}

To execute the custom action, you simply instantiate an instance of your custom action request and pass it to the 'execute' method:

var customActionRequest = new CustomActionRequest(new XrmTSToolkit.Soap.EntityReference("9C8AF527-2D96-4ADB-9C0B-A21BF460CDDA", "account"), "some string value");
XrmTSToolkit.Soap.Execute(customActionRequest).done(function (executeResponse:CustomActionResponse) {
	//Custom action executed successfully
	var result = executeResponse.Result;
}).fail(function (error) {
	//Custom action failed
});

How To Create Your Own Organization Requests

The following example shows how the 'CreateRequest' is implemented so that you can learn to implement other requests as necessary. For this example we will be basing everything off of the following XML Soap request and response:

Soap Request

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Body>
    <Execute xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <request i:type="a:CreateRequest" xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts">
        <a:Parameters xmlns:b="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic">
          <a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
            <b:key>Target</b:key>
            <b:value i:type="a:Entity">
              <a:Attributes />
              <a:EntityState i:nil="true" />
              <a:FormattedValues />
              <a:Id>00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</a:Id>
              <a:LogicalName>account</a:LogicalName>
              <a:RelatedEntities />
            </b:value>
          </a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
        </a:Parameters>
        <a:RequestId i:nil="true" />
        <a:RequestName>Create</a:RequestName>
      </request>
    </Execute>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

Soap Response

<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <s:Body>
    <ExecuteResponse xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services" xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
      <ExecuteResult i:type="a:CreateResponse" xmlns:a="http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts">
        <a:ResponseName>Create</a:ResponseName>
        <a:Results xmlns:b="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic">
          <a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
            <b:key>id</b:key>
            <b:value i:type="c:guid" xmlns:c="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/">6cabef12-aece-e411-80be-00155d017a0b</b:value>
          </a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>
        </a:Results>
      </ExecuteResult>
    </ExecuteResponse>
  </s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

First, create your custom class that inherits from the 'ExecuteRequest':

export class CreateRequest extends ExecuteRequest {

Create your constructor and pass in any necessary parameters to complete the request, in this case all we need is the 'Entity' to be created.

    constructor(Target: Entity) {

Also make a call to the base class constructor passing in the name of the soap request and optionally specify the soap type with the namespace if necessary:

        super("Create", "a:CreateRequest");

*Note: Generally you will only need to pass in the actual name of the request, ie "Create" in this instance. However, because the soap type differs from the other requests and namespace we must explicitely specify the type and namespace for the 'CreateRequest'. Here is a list of the namespaces used by XrmTSToolkit:

//The default namespace used by XrmTSToolkit to serialize 'Execute' messages is "g" below. If the namespace for your message differs then you will need to specify it by using the list below.
var ns = {
"xmlns" : "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts/Services",
"s": "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/",
"a": "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Contracts",
"i": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance",
"b": "http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/System.Collections.Generic",
"c": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema",
"e": "http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/",
"f": "http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays",
"g": "http://schemas.microsoft.com/crm/2011/Contracts",
"h": "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Metadata",
"j": "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2011/Metadata/Query",
"k": "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2013/Metadata",
"l": "http://schemas.microsoft.com/xrm/2012/Contracts"};

Next, in the contructor method, add the parameters to the 'this.Parameters' named array. The name must match exactly what the actual Soap message requires:

        this.Parameters["Target"] = Target;
    }

Optionally create a response class. This is helpful if you are expecting a result and need to query it. For the create request the id of the newly created record is returned:

export class CreateResponse extends ExecuteResponse {
    id: string;
}

Putting it all together. Here is both the request and response in their entirety:

export class CreateRequest extends ExecuteRequest {
    /**
     * Constructor.
     *
     * @param   {Entity}    Target  Entity to be created.
     */
    constructor(Target: Entity) {
        super("Create", "a:CreateRequest");
        this.Parameters["Target"] = Target;
    }
}
export class CreateResponse extends ExecuteResponse {
    id: string;
}

XrmTSToolkit is able to serialize the new class and execute the message appropriately.
